Sierra (Ms. Smith): (Walks up to the stand.) This lady (points to doll) has been sexually abused and kidnapped by this man (points to Rachel) says the victim.
Pooja: Do you have any evidence or any questions that could prove this man is guilty?
Sierra: Yes ma’am. Do you know this young lady?
Rachel: Yes, I do.
Sierra: Were you with her the night of this incident?
Rachel: I PLEAD THE FIFTH!

Pooja: The Fifth Amendment states that the accused can not be forced to be questioned against his will.
Sierra: So when Ernesto said that he “plead the fifth” it meant that he didn’t want to be questioned. When they plead the fifth, it usually means they are guilty.
